they cant really fix what they did to stannis, unless they didnt actually kill him. but i think itd be pretty cheesy to fake 2 two characters, or bring them back, or whatever. as for dorne, maybe its not too late? maybe somehow get Arianne on the show? i just dont know. i love Dorne, and i cant believe how poorly it was done on the show.



yep, over 2500 posts of me talking to myself about random shit. for your own benefit, i suggest you go google the word "blog".

I think Stannis and Myrcella are pretty dead. Muerto.

As to the show's direction, here is my thinking. The showrunners are looping back to bring in the Greyjoys and Riverlands because book 6 is still in-process and they agreed to an 8th season after they'd plotted out season 5, 6, and 7. Assuming Martin has not provided them pretty detailed info on what's to happen in his book 6 & 7 (safe bet), I think they are past the point of incorporating his story in a meaningful way - other than the ending. Martin owed them, and us, that.

re: Myrcella (season 6 spoiler)

So okay ... the series has gone completely off the rails and they rushed past so many plot lines that would have made the series better instead of completely fucking it up the way they have (i.e. Lady Stoneheart). But it's never too late to go back and actually do the books instead of this shitty fanfic. Last we heard, Brienne was luring Jaime into Lady Stoneheart's clutches. Do that. Get this shit back on the rails.

the good news is that it looks like they will be circling back around to do some book 4 stuff that they hadnt done yet (ie: Jaime will me going to the riverlands to deal with the blackfish and riverrun)

but i think youre right about Jon taking over Stannis' role. but you know what, fuck Brienne. by law she should have brought him to be sentenced by.. someone. and fuck Brienne again because Renly had to rightful claim to anything. hes just an ass.

maybe someone can legitimize Gendry and he can hook up with Arya. it will be the third attempt to get Stark and Baratheon together (Lyanna & Robert, Sansa & Joffrey, and then Arya & Gendry).

ugh. 2 more months on the show, and god only knows on the book.

Ned Stark is the best friend Stannis never had. If only he'd stuck around or taken Ned's raven. Stannis really grew on me, in spite of the Red Witch. Renly got a shadow baby for his trouble. #over-reach

Stannis storyline over the last couple S5 episodes were a wreck. I think the showrunners were planning on 7 seasons and thinning the herd. Most unfortunate. Anways... they can't let Brienne go forward without some consequence. Some kind of realization along the lines of comments Jamie made about conflicting oaths.

Gendry + Arya, interesting pair. But, I'm not that into the match-making thing.

Repeating myself, but, lots of characters and storylines left adrift. Martin is sitting on a giant payday, so you know he's struggling with what he's created.

He needs to sign a new publishing deal where they can set him up with some ghost editors. Not to write the story, but just some people to bounce storyline off of.

Similar to a writers room for a television production. In TV, writers who try to write alone usually end up falling short, HBO's Nic Pizzolatto was a recent very good example of this. You need interjection when you are struggling.

I am thinking this is no different. Save the series! Change your process please RR. Do it now.

I don't know how that would work, but something needs to change!

BTW, Martin is attending a con next week and rumors are he will be giving a reading from Winds. So, maybe a small peek is coming.

And if honorable ned had listened to that ass, he could have prevented a war. Instead, he had to protect children by allowing thousands of children to die to war, sickness, etc.
